I have a pair of Roadholder sliders that are in excellent condition except for the spindle being loose in the left slider. Tightening the pinch bolts hardly grips the spindle and the spindle can rock as the bore of the spindle hole is mildly out of round . I can ream / hone the hole and make a new spindle to fit but am wondering if there is an easier solution.
One idea would be to hone the bore, turn off some of the larger diameter of the spindle and then sleeve it to fit the slider bore.
If making a spindle would it be acceptable to use a spindle of the correct diameter for the bearings and make a sleeve for the larger section trough the left fork? This way I could use EN16 for the main spindle and Stainless for the sleeve.
Any suggestions please?
